The water is beautiful today! The north wind is flattening the Gulf down. There have been complaints about biting flies all week but I didn’t notice any when I was at the beach around 9am. There were no flags up, but conditions were calm at the time.

P.S. I saw a bunch of cows. Apparently there is some sort of rodeo happening at the Flora-Bama state line area on the key, so traffic may be a bit interesting this weekend.
